Description

Built this out of personal frustration when I couldn't register for courses I wanted at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

The system monitors course availability in real-time and sends instant notifications when spots open up.

Helped hundreds of students secure spots in popular courses that would fill up within minutes of opening.
